baby #4 vs. still needs vs. a name!

Hi I am Rachel and my husband’s name is Matthew. I have 3 daughters already named Alexandra Lenae (6), Elizabeth Michelle (3), and Lillian Abigail (3). I wasn’t planning to have anymore children, but oops! We don’t know the gender yet. What are some names for both genders that go with my daughters names? Thank you! ~Rachel, Matthew, Alexa, Ellie and Lily

We have a boy named Tyler James and a girl named Gypsie Jade. Expecting our 3rd, which is a boy. I'm in love with the name Olly, but my partner thinks Gypsie and Olly are unique names and Tyler is not, so it won't feel right. So he wants an ordinary name. Please help with something unique but ordinary.

Baby Name Genie:

In the space between unique and ordinary is a special category of names I think of as "antiques." They are familiar and well-used names that are not widely in use these days. For your son, I give you Oscar Jude - a perfectly ordinary, unique name.
